After Benjamin packaged and submitted the [Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol], he stopped paying further attention to it.
For the time that followed, he devoted almost all his energy to cultivating the "Black Giant."
To a focused wizard, time had always been the cheapest thing.
Ten years later.
The brand-new crystal core, fused from a Level 3 Snow Monster core and a Level 4 Lava Giant core, finally slowly stopped pulsing beneath the interweaving and tempering of countless energy fields.
Once it had completely stabilized, the entire crystal core "gave off" black light, as though all the light in the laboratory had been swallowed into it!
As the initial burst of energy faded, a complete "Level 4 Black Giant Core," perfect and as deep as obsidian, yet containing blue and red twin star vortices within, had finally been cultivated!
Benjamin reached out and gently stroked the crystal core from afar, its terrifying pressure radiating outward.
He could clearly sense the horrifying fluctuations of power emanating from the core, power that seemed capable of freezing and tearing apart space itself.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face, like that of an old father gazing at his outstanding child.
Next came the most crucial step.
All he needed was to use this powerful, perfect core as the "mother body" and formally "hatch" the first true "Black Giant" through the massive Incubation Pool.
Arriving at the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, Benjamin carefully separated a grain-of-rice-sized fragment from the black core.

Benjamin then walked to the monitoring instruments beside it and, after reading the constantly appearing data, made a rough calculation of how long
